That dub was absolutely legitimate and that makes it better
People wont probably understand me, but Ghost Stories dub is still the funniest dub, Shin Chan is close 2nd. Its almost neck and neck
The Japanese dub underperformed. The studio wanted to make even a minor profit out of it and gave the US studio the green light to do anything they wanted.
So it basically became a studio-funded anime parody much like TeamFourStar or Little Kuriboh... Except the jokes are drastically more unhinged.
So legit that the dub is actually on Crunchyroll
Agreed
I mean, to be fair, it's not really legitimate. Official is a better word for it.
Looking it up, apparently the voice actors were told to “do whatever it takes to sell the show.” So the original script was thrown out and the rest is history.
The only limitation they had is that they had to follow the steps to how a ghost was defeated or something like that.
@@BlazinVoid59 that and names and other than that nothing else
@@BlazinVoid59 character names and how ghosts were defeated had to stay the same. Beyond that, there were no limits
Japan: "Just write the script, script writer!"
@@stagman1500 HCAIFHEUWHDUWDWDWDDDW
The actors have said in an interview that they literally dared each other to see who could say the most outrageous and offensive lines.
Is there a video? I'd love to see that 😂
Then the VA for the grey-haired girl must've won lmao 😂
This is basically the granddad of abridging, yet it IS official
That Makes it even better 😂😆
And then there’s Bo-bobo, which is an abridged series even in the original Japanese!
What does abridging means?
@@lumanianilin1198 Basically taking the footage from a series and doing your own voice over for it, for the sake of comedy. The best ones I've seen follow the narrative of the show, but change up character personalities, call out flaws in the original, and sometimes make tweaks to how the plot gets to different points in order to make the progression more satisfying. The comedy's the main point of it, though.
For examples, I'd advice checking out Team Four Star for their abridged series of Dragon Ball Z, Hellsing, and Final Fantasy VII, as well as Little Kuriboh's take on Yugioh and Something Witty Entertainment's take on Sword Art Online. Plenty of others out there, but I consider them the real powerhouses of abridging
I'm pretty sure when the team found out that they could do what they wanted with it they sat in a room and got drunk or high can't remember which one and just came up with lines and shit
With a dub like this I'm guessing they did both.
The director and the actors talk about it a lot, and from what I remember the director was naturally just a really funny guy so he essentially made lines up on the spot and allowed the actors to freestyle on some scenes too. It was a really fun process for the people involved and from what I remember it was kind of like a game to see what people could come up with every day
they were drunk and had contests to see who could say the most offensive things. They basically had free range to say whatever so long as the premise of the episode was met.
they fired in all directions
This dub is so great it changed the entire damn genre.
Do Not Laugh Challenge.
First time watching
You'll guaranteed to LOSE!
i already laughed my ass off.
the first time i saw this.
my god
this dubb is golden.
And yes, this was the actual dub. We recorded all 20+ episodes very earnestly, and our only goal was to make it as offensively funny as possible. It was something really crazy and unique to be a part of.
Rare to see a voice actor comment so randomly
I can imagine the difficulty not laughing while saying some of those line.
Thank you for being a part of making this masterpiece! It is truly hilarious.
From what I’ve seen of the dub, you were absolutely amazing as Hajime.
The man the myth the legend Chris Pratton !!!
The dub for this anime is so hysterical, the studio had it subbed. They could not stop laughing.
did the original Japanese actors redo it? i've been trying to find if it's true.
Nope. They never did.
@@titang6173
They didn’t try to dub it. They just sub the English version
best dub no cap, voice acting is genuinely really great too. I think episode 9 has the best jokes
The rabbit girl was fucking hilarious that episode
"It's not because your dead but it's because you're black"
Running across this on a lazy Sunday. I actually played Hajime (the kid in the green jacket), and watching you guys react to these clips from the show brought me absolute joy. And yes, we had a great time working on this show! Wild.
You did great 🫡😆
Is it true that the script was lost or something and was told to do whatever you want?
@@dwerfenminer619 they had the script but the show didn't do well in japan, so for the dub they were told to nearly do whatever they want lol
"Yeah- pliggitiditigittiditgittidigigitiiddiggatidiggitidiggity!!!"
-You(?)
😂
Thank you for your incredible performance.
These jokes are more than 15 years old and to see that they're still cracking people up just humbles me every fucking day. And it is WAY flattering and HUGELY funny watching you guys' reaction to the show. I have a YT channel I've never done anything with. I need to get off my ass and make some videos answering your questions and the hundred others I see get asked. There were way too many to answer you here and clog up your feed. But lemme say two things and this is coming from a w/d and I mean this as a compliment. One: Goatee was fucking HILARIOUS when he did that doubletake, then looked at the camera with heartattack seriousness, and cracked a line that was delivered with the same vintage Warner Bros hilarity the GS cast delivered. Don't know what was better, your read or your eyes.. Two: It wasn't FILL me up it was FEEL me up. Though I wish to God I had thought of fill because that is def funnier. Well done, boys. Nice vid. Thanks for the props. It's guys like you and your viewers who turned a decade old cult kick into the comedy icon it's ballooned into. If you would have told me then that this was gonna happen, I would have taken you to the hospital because I would have been certain your were about to die from alcohol poisoning to think that. But then... life is crazy. love you guys!
In case anyone is wondering, Foster is the writer of the dub. He's a madman!
I know you have a book all about the Ghost Stories dub but I'd love to see a video of you explaining the process.
this man is still writing comments on yt, you’re the GOAT
@@md_vandenberg What's the book called, if I may ask?
@@md_vandenberg the youtube channel just went live last week!
@@joelthorstensson2772 The Last Alias: True stories and a tale that might be. it's on amazon
One of the funniest anime for all the worst reasons. I've watched it a few times ngl
Its quite legit, those VAs are fairly well known among dub anime lol
where can u watch ghost stories bc i looked all over the place and i can't find that anywhere-
@@michaella2758 Theres another guy(Stickboy 26) that reacted to these years ago and he didn't cut the show down and doesn't talk over the show much if you wanted to see the whole show that way.
Same it really is funny for the wrong reasons but it is one of the funniest animes you will ever find im dying just thinking of the anime 😂😅
@@michaella2758 Its on amazon prime video right now in the usa
@@michaella2758 animxplay has it and its free
I was hoping the "not because you're a rabbit" scene would be in this 😂
i wonder if they know that the japanese team told them they can basically do what they want for the dub with a few exceptions (mainly names of characters including ghosts, the way the ghosts die, and the overall story should remain) other than that they told the dubbing team to do whatever they wanted to make this anime as successful as possible
That is very much the case.
6:37 I can't stop laughing at that one.
The jokes are actually better in context because you start getting into the story and then blam--hilariius line out of nowhere!
Almost every decade, a masterpiece is born.
The 1950s had Ben-Hur.
The 1940s had Citizen Kane.
We had Ghost Stories.
In the 1930s???
This was a time when the world wasnt sensitive.
I own it on DVD and it is the legit dub. I invited a friend over for an episode or two and it ended up an all nighter. Absolutely an 11/10!
This was crude just to be crude.... why did I kind of love it 😂😂😂
whenever the dub of ghost stories comes up i always go back to the idea that every anime should have an official abridged series ya know
1:30-1:31 "Campbell?"
"Soup!"
😂 🤣
Was waiting for the "...not because you're a rabbit..." line, but was disappointed...
@414anime “I know you’re gay” 😂
Losing it with this dub and the lines haha
9:30 always gets me off gaurd had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am chinese, and I can confirm that at 06:40, chinese was indeed spoken.
Even more people react to this. Damn, I'm soo000 glad. I recomand all the episodes.
I don't know why the strange rumor spread, but this animation has achieved good results in Japan and is a TV series that has received great reviews in neighboring Korea.
I'm Korean and this series is re-aired every Halloween season on a children's TV show.
The reason why the English version is different from the original is because the emotions of us Asians and the emotions of people in the West are different.
that's the reason why REAL English dub made with few episodes😮 message from Japan, DVD got from the United States
Please please please actually watch it.
It's equally insane the whole time but with context some jokes hit even harder.
This was back before cancel culture existed. When people could take a joke
wheres the rabbit scene
What's amazing for those who don't know. The show sucked so bad in Japan that when
Ghost Stories was picked up for dubbing by ADV Studios in 2005 they were told to "do whatever it took to sell the show." The only condition was that the basic story and names of major characters and ghosts had to remain intact, but everything else was fair game.
Nobody gonna talk about that one guy with a bunch of kurumi merch in the back? Especially that poster?
God, I miss when the world could just take a damn joke.
10/10 one of my favorite anime ever. Another great underrated gem is Desert Punk. Pubescent post apocalyptic Batman with girl problems and a big mouth.
This is basically the precursor to SnapCube's real time fan dubs
From what I know, this anime bombed hard in Japan so when it came time to dub it, they were given free reign to do whatever they wanted as long as certain things weren't changed like the ghosts and how to beat them, I think. They basically made the first abridge series as the official dub, and it was way more successful.
Nooo u didn’t watch the rabbit scene😭
One correction. There were no writers for the dub. The anime bombed so bad in Japan when (the now defunct) ADV got the rights to it it was already dead in the water. Thus the producers let the voice actors just have at & freestyle the entire series.
Also for context on all the Jew & homophobic jokes ADV was based out of Houston, TX, USA.
Not true, there WAS a writer, he even did an interview, yes a lot of dialogues were improv but there also was a writer, they all went ham as the show progressed especially the actors, so they let them do their thing and chose the best takes.
Actually, Jazzler's closer to correct. The first episode was scripted but after that I wrote it as we recorded so it would be loose, unpredictable, and crazy. So you could say it was adlibbed, but I'm a writer so legally it's writing. The actors (well, moreso the comics in the cast) added about 20 lines. I'll take a good line from anybody! Like that whole bit about the guy not pulling out like he SAID he would? That's all Tommy Drake. Tommy told us that story in the studio while Adam was syncing up his previous line and that beat the fuck out of anything I was gonna make up. And if you'll notice, most of it's off-flap so I didn't have to adjust too much, I just had Tommy say the real life story in character.
The Jewish jokes were just like the Muslim jokes and the sexist jokes and all the other shit that's said. When I decided to go that route, I made sure we offended EVERYBODY. That way everyone would know there's no way we were serious about any of it. But, confession: I was harder on the Republicans because it was during the Bush administration, the Christians because I'm a liberal Christianic and the religious right could not be any more wrong, and the gay jokes were cuz I'm a big fag. Like I said, we attacked everybody.
I like that you try to blame the most offensive bits on Texas, but fail to know that Houston is a strong Democrat city. Surprise! The dub was written by a liberal gay man.
@@md_vandenberg Kinda hard to yell surprise at someone who lives in Houston, Tx themselves for over 30yrs. ADV was located on Bintliff in the Westpark/Westchase area. Ya know, before they put that till road thru it. Before it was renamed the Ghandi district.
Also Houston being a Democratic city in a Republican county, in a Republican state, doesn't actually mean anything when Houston itself has a non-partisan election (ballot) system.
:reverse card:
Its crazy that the brazillian dub did their whole best to make this show sell here in brasil, the dialogues were quite good here.
I have never seen Brazilian and Italian dub. adv dub, animax proper one and original Japan language. Maybe I became triple languages-watcher.
This premiered in Japan and did horrible before they even talked about having a DUB. Because of it, the creators gave the creative power to the English dub team to do whatever as long as they don’t change the overall plot and character names. And that was the best decision ever.
The fact that it “failed” is misinformation it actually did really good in japan
yes, this was a legitimate dub and the voice actors got complete control of what to say, only rule was to keep the original storyline, since the Japanese version kinda was bad and failed, they just let the VA’s do what they want
In my opinion Ghost Stories is one of the best and my favorite anime of all time, I loved it 😂👍🏾💯.
Only people who have no sense of humor would find it offensive over hilarious comedy, Ghost Stories for me is the anime South Park.
10/10 Dub
Behind the scenes fact: Ghost Stories dub DO NOT have an official script. The studio in Japan told the Dubbed Studio to do whatever they wanted which turned into this goldmine comedy.
When I saw this anime like 5 years ago I taught this was an abridged version but when I search a little bit deeper I realized this was the actual dub lol. FYI the first video is saw was the "not because you're a rabbit but because you're black" made me rolling on the floor lmao
Hillary Haag is one of my favorite voice actresses.
Bro the rabbit bit where they r like I know now we can never be together and they don't finish it but the exact quote is "I now know we can never be together not because ur a rabbit but because ur black"
This dub is too ahead of its time
I love the lil kurumi in the background
Fun fact: they litterally told the VA's to do what ever the fuck they want XD
It's the legit dub and i've seen all of it. 10/10 would recommend!
What!!! I'm so glad I checked your community page because I didn't get notified for this and would have been disappointed if I missed out.
I was hoping to see your reaction to the rabbit girl clip
It was actually dubbed like this
Well not only were the English va told to do whatever I took to sell this in America as long as they kept the original plot but it was also made in a time where nobody got offended and edgy humour was the thing. So most of the lines were improvised
The dub is legit. I have it on DVD.
Bro i just finished this anime and im so sad that there's only one season im addicted to this anime its so good
7:23😂😂 "No, I stopped by"
I swear to god when I first watched this I though this was a Abridged Series
The dub is legitimate and it’s on Crunchyroll
I neeeed the rabbit scene
Well this was fun as hell
Actually I think it gets even worse when it's in context 🙃
11:31 the way the guy on the lefts eyes widened was brilliant
The parts where the jabber nonsense and when the girl was like "Hold up a second....but this hurricane" were the voice actors finding dumb ways to sync up with the lips and dialogue. I love it.
I DONT KNOW HOW THIS SHOW DIDNT GET CANCELLED AND I AM GLAD
This was indeed a proper dub in the states. This is what I watched on Adult Swim in the 2000s when I got up early enough to get ready for school on the weekdays.
Man I love watching people react to this, every time I remember this dub exist 😂
“of course, we have to go there every episodes”😂😂😂
remember they are in 4th grade btw except momoko and keichoro
I'm loving how people are still talking about this dub, even after so many years went by, when it came out . The Japanese was boring and didn't sell, so they said keep the story plot the same then do whatever with the dub, as long as it sells and it sell all right. Lots of people laugh and still are laughing about it all today.
01:34
There’s are a few languages in Africa, like Xhosa, that have clicking noises as part of the language. Between that and the name, I’m guessing it was an edgy racist joke. I think there are also languages that use whistling. Cool from linguistics, bad for early 2000s edgy humor.
As far as I’ve heard, someone got the rights to this show dirt cheap because it didn’t sell well in Japan, so they said screw it and did a gag dub.
And we thank them for it
I have the dvd it's one of my favorites
10/10. The lunacy just escalates and yet there is actually a thematic unity even to the craziest elements.
I’m pretty sure the producer/head writer (can’t quite remember what his job was 😂) is also a Jewish gay man, so that’s where I think those jokes come from. I had a Jewish coworker who, once we found out we both like anime & knew Ghost Stories, took every opportunity she could to reference the “I may be a successful doctor…” line 😂 it would come out of nowhere and send me every time
"Think of a hig black man chasing you" -cut- to the flash running on water
Lol "Not get out get saved"
God I love the ghost stories dub.....so fucking funny and real ruthless....just a great time.....just remember its all jokes obviously.
The rabbit 🐇 episode is the best thing I've ever seen form 2000 .
That is one of the 2 legitimate English dubs for the series. The first one was true to the original story completely. However, company got the license to do the series in a bundle of series. When they saw it was already done, they wanted to do something different so people would buy their version as well. Their version became more popular.
The cat reminds me of Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Lol, N00bs. I watch this full dub every year.
Ghost Stories was picked up for dubbing by ADV Studios in 2005. According to voice actor Greg Ayres, they were told to "do whatever it took to sell the show." The only condition was that the basic story and names of major characters and ghosts had to remain intact, but everything else was fair game. To that end, director Steven Foster reworked the show into a pure Gag Dub by throwing out nearly all of the original script. When the voice actors were called in to record scenes, whoever got there first would set the tone and subject for the scene, which meant the other cast members had to follow in those footsteps. This approach produced a dub full of random characterization, fourth-wall-breaking jokes, political and cultural references.
The dub is 100% legit and im pretty sure it also aired on tv
Me and my dad just got done watching ghost stories dub we watched the last episode last week and each episode was worst then tbe last we absolutely loved the whole thing
I think it was AdultSwim where I first saw the dub? Wherever it first aired here in the States, it was unmatched and legendary.
I love it with burning passion
I own it. And yes it is a legit dub. They were given pretty much free reign to do whatever they wanted so long as the story was kept the same. Teens fighting ghosts and that was about it for story.
Yes this was what I watched as a kid hahahahah
Imagine a remake of this
It doesn't need
Hello?! Where are you?? Why this is only vid on this channel?? Hello??
We will be daily uploading new videos from 3rd Jan :)
Even with context, this show is still all over the place
The dub is hilarious 😂🤣🤣🤣
There were 2 dubs 1 was the joke one and another more accurate one. They were both official though.
a million views and like 200 comments lol.
This was a real treat!
Oh it's legit, and it's a masterpiece. You said it, the fuckin balls on them to say this shit. Out of 10...11, and not only because it's hilarious, but because it TURNS ANIME UP TO 11!
The rabbit scenes are the best ones lol
They were given a very loose set of rules, like keeping all the names the same. Which is where the idea for "Board Mover" and "Hole Filler" came from, as thats what their names were in the japanese script, since they were nameless characters.
Dude spent the entire time repeating the jokes 😭
This came out in the early 2000s before people became snowflakes and cry about every little thing
0:30 seconds in First reaction to anime already having cat girls in the background lmao
Legitimate dub in that a legitimate anime dubbing company did the official recording of the English Language version, giving us this strange gem
But not-so-legitimate in that virtually none of the English dialog has anything at all to do with the original Japanese dialog. Only the names and basic plot elements remained the same. Japan was basically hands off, like "this bombed so hard over here, just do what you want with it" LOL
